difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. he explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. day by day, i watched him build it, and i admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.one evening i asked if he needed help.“only if it doesnt interfere with school，” he said, which sounded like a yes.i showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. i always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. now i know that through creative problemsolving, i can always find plan b, ask for help, and take risks.1when the

anything.i pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked.the message was from my father.my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming，and underneath a poem by william blake.the flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me.my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid.that may even be the reason why i love writing.i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back.i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift.i sent the photo of the creamcolored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.as i was arranging the details another poem came to mind.the poem was written by edgar allan poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other.i typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.the poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching i found the perfect picture.the image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream.as i watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood.i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.christmas soon arrived.the minute i saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，i knew i had given the perfect gift.56the idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _.adoing shopping
